What is the Minor Pentatonic scale?
The minor pentatonic scale is the natural minor scale with the second and sixth removed. Five notes, no half steps, and it fits over almost any minor or blues progression — the single most used scale in rock and blues soloing.
Des Minor Pentatonic is a scale, not a key. It has no key signature of its own — music that uses it is normally written in the key signature of its parent scale, with any extra accidentals added as they occur.
